Interview
I submitted my resume to Blizzard career website at the end of 1/2020. A few days later, I got a phone interview from the company's recruiter. However, he informed me that the position had been filled. Three months later, I got an email from him informing me about a new opening and arranged for a video conference interview. There were 3 technical managers in the panel. In the first part, I just told them about my work and experience. In the second part, they asked detailed questions about advanced features of C++ and C++ development.

Interview
Everyone was friendly and professional throughout the process. Recruiters did a great job communicating with me. Blizzard places a strong emphasis on culture fit and passion for games, so be prepared to talk about both.
My process started with a 1 hour phone call with a recruiter, which was mainly walking through my past experience. Afterwards, I had a 1 hour technical phone call with the leads of the team I would be joining, which was more in-depth to make sure that my skills matched the job description. Then, I took a short programming test at home, which tested basic programming knowledge in game development. Finally, I visited Irvine for a full day onsite interview with multiple rounds, which covered a wide variety of skill and culture fit questions.
